Perhaps 5 minutes. 30 minutes seems excessive. Just so it is not a shock to the system. Warm does feel nice also melts the lube onto the surface better. I put mine on the electric blanket in bed. Then when the bed is warm so is the aneros.

No electric blanket needed in New Mexico this time of year. Even a sheet can be too warm. I think soaking in hot or warm water a better method for me. I haven't tried warming the tool yet, but I can understand that it can soften the lube like Shea Butter inserted up my ass first, and vaseline on the tool.

Warming the Aneros prior to use is something I have been doing more often lately. Just letting it sit in warm water for 10-15 minutes prior to insertion; it feels so much better when it is nice and warm to start. Just the warmth from the toy is noticeable in the beginning and I feel helps accelerate comfort and pleasure.

Please be careful with how hot you warm up the Aneros. My first and last attempt at this was using what I thought was warm water in a cup and dropped the Aneros in for ten minutes or so. Upon insertion it was way too hot and I believe burnt the tender skin in my anus such that I had to wait a few days to heal before using my Aneros again. I believe the idea is to try and get it up to body temperature and no more.

Let it soak in hot tap water instead; it's not as hot, and leave it in the water for only a few minutes. Before inserting, touch on the wrist near the palm of the hand, like testing hot formula for feeding baby. This should prevent what Love_Is experienced.
